Rebelde


Rebelde is a Mexican telenovela produced by Televisa and created by Cris Morena. It is a remake of the Argentine telenovela Rebelde Way adapted for the Mexican youth audience, leading to differences in characters' backgrounds. The series aired on Canal de las Estrellas from October 4, 2004, to June 2, 2006. Rebelde was replaced in June 2006 with Televisa's series Código Postal.
The series is set at the Elite Way School, a prestigious private boarding high school in Mexico City with a major plot line revolving around a group of students forming a pop band. Additional subplots involve the school's faculty and the students' parents. One trademark of the show is the random use of English words and phrases, often used by fresa characters.
A notable aspect of the series is that the actors playing the band members are themselves in an actual band named RBD, and perform most of the music used on the show. They have been extremely successful in their own right, becoming one of the most popular acts in Latin America and touring internationally.

Among the students are Mia Colucci, Miguel Arango, Roberta Pardo, Diego Bustamante, Lupita Fernández and Giovanni Méndez. Six young people who, despite their great differences, discover something that will unite them above all: the great love for music.
